This week was another great week, but I have to say that the highlight of my week was hearing about Lolo's trip to PA! We spent 3hrs and 39 min (not 40) on the phone Saturday night! I am soooo very excited for her and this new chapter she wants to begin. I can hear in her voice and see in her pictures that she is so excited and truly ready to begin this new adventure.
Having a long-distance best friend is hard and just plane old STINKS sometimes. You have to communicate through text and phone calls which is hard because nothing compares to a real life conversation. While most of the time she will take my side of any situation, she will also be the first one to tell me that I am overreacting and I need to get over myself. In my opinion moving away from my best friends has only brought us closer and not effected us in a negative way at all. While apart you can both make friends, figure out what you want to do with your life, and grow as a person. If you are not willing to do all those things I do believe that you are to solely focused on one person, and that is not healthy for either party. I miss her like crazy and it is hard not to share every important moment of life together, but being able not let the distance shake our friendship proves that it will be one that will last a lifetime.
When I lived on Guam there were hardly any thunderstorms and so when I moved to the states I hated them! Over time I grew to really enjoy sitting out on a porch and watching them pass through. I loved them while I was staying at the Lazy Bee Farm because the air was so fresh and the breezes always felt so refreshing. Here in the city they are a little different, but I still enjoy them. This is the porch outside my apartment...the only sad thing is that the porch above it is not solid so the rain comes right through, but I still was able to watch it from my door ;)
Remember how I said that I don't have a kitchen in my apartment? With a target gift card that I saved I ordered this mini griddle so I can have eggs in the mornings again :)
This is the crazy traffic that I go through every day...I really thought I would mind it way more then I do.
-a little about work-
This is one of my favorite places to go and eat my lunch on break (just to get outside and not hear screaming kids is so nice). That building you can see is identical to the one I work in and there are restaurants and stuff all round. It is normally quite and if there are other people there they are normally on their lunch breaks too. The next picture is of my classroom! Now this was Friday night so I had picked up all the mats and toys and put them up so that the cleaners that come over the weekend could wash the carpets. I am still loving everything about my job and really enjoying getting to know the parents of the kids as well.
I had warned you that I crave food and one night I really wanted popcorn so I made some and ate the WHOLE bag. Then on Friday I was so tired I knew that some sugar would help me get home safely. I went to the store and had gummy bears in my hand, but then I saw the jelly beans and they looked so good. I got home safe and sound so the jelly beans did the trick.
All week I have been dealing with a cold and Friday night was a night of hardly any sleep. I gave up at like 9 and just got up and worked out. It helped drain everything and I felt way better so I went on a walk, but as I stopped to journal I started to feel it getting worse. When I got back home I was hungry and wanted to try this recipe for this simple apple dip. All I had to do is mix these three ingredients together and there you have it. I liked it, but I will have to admit I would rather just have an apple dipped in plane peanut butter.
Saturdays are days I try to do my grocery shopping that way Sunday I can make my meals for the week. I went to get food but also walked around and window shopped for a little bit. I found these beautiful flowers on my walk and I have no idea what they are but would love to find out. I really liked how there are two colors and bright ones at that.
-Sunday-
After church I always go out with a few couples from the church and we have a great time of just catching up. After that it is time to prep my meals for the week. I love doing this because it makes the rest of my week easier and nicer not to worry about planning what I am eating. This week I had to try out my new griddle so I made homemade tortillas. They are easy (the part that takes the most time is rolling out the dough) and have very few ingredients so they are cheep to make. I am excited to make some wraps and quesadillas this week!
Well that's about all that happened this week and I have a great week to look forward to with a three day weekend coming up! You all have a great week as well!
Make sure you cherish the little moments because they become your memories :)
With a pinch of love,
Lil'Chef
